The veil is torn And now I live with the Spirit inside The same one, the very same one who brought the Son back to life
Hallelujah, He lives in me Hallelujah, He lives in me Hallelujah, He lives in me Hallelujah, He lives in me
You’re the one who conquers giants You’re the one who calls out kings You shut the mouths of lions You tell the dead to breathe You’re the one who walks through fire You take the orphan’s hand You are the one Messiah You are I am You are I am
I hate feeling like this I’m so tired of trying to fight this I’m asleep and all I dream of
Is waking to you Tell me that you will listen Your touch is what I’m missing And the more I hide I realize I’m slowly losing you
Comatose I’ll never wake up without an overdose of you
[Chorus:] I don’t wanna live I don’t wanna breathe ‘les I feel you next to me you take the pain I feel waking up to you never felt so real I don’t wanna sleep I don’t wanna dream ’cause my dreams don’t comfort me The way you make me feel Waking up to you never felt so real
I hate living without you Dead wrong to ever doubt you But my demons lay in waiting Tempting me away Oh how I adore you Oh how I thirst for you Oh how I need you
Comatose I’ll never wake up without an overdose of you
[Chorus]
Breathing life Waking up My eyes open up
Comatose I’ll never wake up without an overdose of you
[Chorus]
Oh how I adore you Waking up to you never felt so real Oh how I thirst for you Waking up to you never felt so real Oh how I adore you, ohhhh The way you make me feel Waking up to you never felt so real
Revelation Song: written by Jennie Lee Riddle sung by Meredith Andrews
Clothed in rainbows, of living color Flashes of lightning, rolls of thunder Blessing and honor, strength and Glory and power be To You the Only Wise King,
Holy, Holy, Holy Is the Lord God Almighty Who was, and is, and is to come With all creation I sing: Praise to the King of Kings! You are my everything, And I will adore You…!
And every step every breath you are there Every tear every cry every prayer In my hurt at my worst When my world falls down Not for a moment will You forsake me Even in the dark Even when it’s hard You will never leave me After all
This song just reads “today” in so many ways, I imagine that is why John wrote it. There seems to be so much unrest and anger in the world. There is for sure a plethora of drugs and alcohol to dim the pain. For you see…the drugs and the booze only temporarily damp down the feelings of rage, of worthlessness. The deep seated insecurities within people are never far from the surface, the fear of failure, always lurks just beneath every choice. Thoughts are all consuming, peace a fantasy.
Today’s teens are as never before pummeled with a never ending array of choices, many of them bad ones. Teen are also faced with parents who have high expectations…or worse yet no expectations at all. You think a parent that has no expectations is freeing to the youth…think again. Ask them how they feel about that.
The world has changed, it has changed into this crazy array of technology and stuff that has NOT made life so much better, rather it has made life so much busier. There are social websites galore…you have to belong to many you know. Now some of these sites are even (Klout) tied into your future job prospects! Before Tech reigned supreme…the world had more time, and people were more relaxed.
Adults are not immune either, the world moves at a faster and faster pace, some of this is intended for our ill. To much to do means in many cases God gets left out and Satan wins a victory. Get with God, do it today…right now!
The answer to the pain, the misery, the world’s suffering…all that is wrong. The drugs, the drinking, the anger…the killing and violence. It all has its solution in one place…Jesus Christ.
Read the words to this Skillet song, they are good. Then listen to it…
May God bless you, strengthen you, and give you peace, in Jesus name, Amen
“Looking For Angels”
Going through this life looking for Angels People passing by, looking for Angels.
Walk this world alone try to stay on my feet
Sometimes crawl, fall, but I stand up cause I’m afraid to sleep And open my eyes to a new day, with all new problems and all new pain All the faces are filled with so much anger Losing our dignity and hope from fear of danger After all the wars, after settling the scores, at the break of dawn we will be deaf to the answers
There’s so much bigotry, misunderstanding and fear With eyes squinted and fists clinched we reach out for what is dear We want it we want We want a reason to live We’re on a pilgrimage A crusade for hope Cause in our hearts and minds and souls we know
We need it we need We need more than this
[Chorus:] Going through this life looking for angels People passing by looking for angels Walking down the streets looking for angels Everyone I meet looking for angels
So many nations with so many hungry people So many homeless scrounging around for dirty needles On the rise, teen suicide, when we will realize we’ve been desensitized by the lies of the world We’re oppressed and impressed by the greedy Whose hands squeeze the life out of the needy When will we learn that wars, threats, and regrets are the cause and effect of living in fear
Who can help protect the innocence of our children Stolen on the internet with images they can’t forget We want it we want We want a reason to live We represent a generation that wants to turn back a nation To let love be our light and salvation
We need it we need We need more than this
[Chorus]
I became a savior to some kids I’ll never meet Sent a check in the mail to buy them something to eat What will you do to make a difference, to make a change?
What will you do to help someone along the way? Just a touch, a smile as you turn the other cheek Pray for your enemies, humble yourself, love’s staring back at me In the midst of the most painful faces Angels show up in the strangest of places
[Chorus]
[4x] Walking down the streets looking for angels Everyone I meet looking for angels
One of the things in my studies of late has been the Names of God. All of God’s Names have meaning, even more so than I understand of course as I am no theologian. That does not prevent me from being awed at the many Names and Titles of God!
Consider our very lives lived before God; we live in the world, but are not really part of it. Our physical being is here on earth, our shell if you will. The part of “us” that makes us unique however, is only borrowing this imperfect tent we live in…this tent will return unto the dust. Our “uniqueness” if you will, this is our spirit; our spirit’s true home is not here but with God in His kingdom.
He Said So your life feels like it don’t make sense And you think to yourself, ‘I’m a good person’ So why do these things keep happening? Why you gotta deal with them?
You may be knocked down now but don’t forget what He said, He said
I won’t give you more, more then you can take and I might let you bend, but I won’t let you break and No-o-o-o-o, I’ll never ever let you go-o-o-o-o Don’t you forget what He said
Who you are ain’t what your going through So don’t let it get the best of you Cause God knows everything you need, so you ain’t gotta worry
You may be knocked down now but just believe what He said, He said
I won’t give you more, more then you can take and I might let you bend, but I won’t let you break and No-o-o-o-o, I’ll never ever let you go-o-o-o-o Don’t you forget what He said
Don’t fear when you go through the fire Hang on when it’s down to the wire Stand tall and remember what He said
I won’t give you more, more then you can take and I might let you bend, but I won’t let you break…
I won’t give you more, more then you can take and I might let you bend, but I won’t let you break and No-o-o-o-o, I’ll never ever let you go-o-o-o-o Don’t you forget what He said
After hitting play, hit the change quality icon on the bottom of the video player (looks like a spur) and watch/listen on 720 if you can! If it stops a lot, just hit pause and wait a few minutes for it to load...it's worth it! Turn up your speakers, but not too high--it's powerful! This song is absolutely amazingly beautiful! The video is pretty amazing as well.
As long as I remember I’ve been walking through the wilderness Praying to the Father And waiting for my time I’ve come here with a mission And soon I’ll give my life for this world
I’m praying in the garden And I’m looking for a miracle I find the journey hard but It’s the reason I was born Can this cup be passed on Lord, I pray your will be done In this world
So I’ll carry my cross And I’ll carry the shame To the end of the road Through the struggle and pain And I’ll do it for love No, it won’t be in vain Yes, I’ll carry my cross And I’ll carry the shame
I feel like I’m alone here And I’m treated like a criminal The time has come for me now Even though I’ve done no wrong Father, please forgive them They know not what they’ve done In this world
Three more days and I’ll be coming back again Three more days and I’ll be coming back again
Warning, this video is graphic (Passion of the Christ)
I lie here paralytic, inside this soul Screaming for you till my throat is numb I wanna break out I need a way out I don’t believe that it’s gotta be this way The worst is the waiting In this womb I’m suffocating
Feel your presence filling up my lungs with oxygen I take you in I’ve died
Rebirthing now I wanna live for love, wanna live for you and me Breathe for the first time now I come alive somehow
Rebirthing now I wanna live my life, wanna give you everything Breathe for the first time now I come alive somehow
Right now Right now
I lie here lifeless in this cocoon Shedding my skin cause I’m ready to I wanna break out, I found a way out I don’t believe that it’s gotta be this way The worst is the waiting In this womb I’m suffocating
Feel your presence filling up my lungs with oxygen I take you in I’ve died
Rebirthing now I wanna live for love, wanna live for you and me Breathe for the first time now I come alive somehow
Rebirthing now I wanna live my life, wanna give you everything Breathe for the first time now I come alive somehow
Tell me when I’m gonna live again Tell me when I’m gonna breathe you in Tell me when I’m gonna feel inside Tell me when I’m gonna feel alive
Tell me when I’m gonna live again Tell me when this fear will end Tell me when I’m gonna feel inside Tell me when I’ll feel alive
Rebirthing now I wanna live for love, wanna live for you and me Breathe for the first time now I come alive somehow
Rebirthing now I wanna live my life, wanna give you everything Breathe for the first time now I come alive somehow
Right now (I come alive somehow) Right now (I come alive somehow)

1 “Come, all you who are thirsty, come to the waters; and you who have no money, come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without cost. 2 Why spend money on what is not bread, and your labor on what does not satisfy? Listen, listen to me, and eat what is good, and your soul will delight in the richest of fare. 3 Give ear and come to me; hear me, that your soul may live. I will make an everlasting covenant with you, my faithful love promised to David. 4 See, I have made him a witness to the peoples, a leader and commander of the peoples. 5 Surely you will summon nations you know not, and nations that do not know you will hasten to you, because of the LORD your God, the Holy One of Israel, for he has endowed you with splendor.” 6 Seek the LORD while he may be found; call on him while he is near. 7 Let the wicked forsake his way and the evil man his thoughts. Let him turn to the LORD, and he will have mercy on him, and to our God, for he will freely pardon. 8 “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the LORD. 9 “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts. 10 As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, 11 so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it. 12 You will go out in joy and be led forth in peace; the mountains and hills will burst into song before you, and all the trees of the field will clap their hands. 13 Instead of the thornbush will grow the pine tree, and instead of briers the myrtle will grow. This will be for the LORD’s renown, for an everlasting sign, which will not be destroyed.”
